Tocqueville Quotes

“There is nothing more irresistible than a tyranny which rules in the name of the people because, though it is invested with the moral power which belongs to the will of the majority, at the same time it acts with the decisiveness, alacrity and persistence of a single man.”

It will be useless to call upon those very citizens, who have become so dependent upon central government, to choose from time to time the representatives of this government; this very important but brief and rare exercise of free choice will not prevent their gradual loss of the faculty of autonomous thought, feeling, and action so that they will slowly fall below the level of humanity.”
